Influences Stacking of Basalt-Glass Fabrics Reinforced Epoxy Matrix Hybrid Composites towards Tension Loads

Abstract:

This work focused to investigates the effect of basalt and E-glass fabrics in stacking sequences mode of hybrid composites under tensile loads. The sample has fabricated in a hybrid approach in stacking layers of the basalt and E-glass fabrics with a ratio of 60%:40% through the vacuum injection molding (VIM) process. A tensile test to initiate mechanical properties had conducted. And a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used for damage analysis. The testing result shows that hybridization basalt with E-glass fabrics has been tension strength increased average of 3.95%. The dominant failures occurred as fiber pull out and delamination. Conclusions show that stacking sequences of basalt and E-glass fabrics is a potential design to maintenance composites structures. However, it was not caused sufficiently by tension loads.
